Chocolate Dipped Macaroons

I got this recipe from Kathleen's friend Malinka in the recipe exchange. I don't have many dessert recipes so it's cool to get some new ones. And it sounds like something EmilyW would like too. Let me know if you try it before I do!:

Chocolate dipped macaroons

ingredients;
2 bags of MOUNDS sweetened coconut flakes (396g per bag I think)
7 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 sticks of butter
dark chocolate for melting and dipping

procedure;
Melt butter and let cool to room temp.
Beat all the eggs with the sugar until they become foamy. (Kitchen aid rocks-takes 5 minutes)
In a big bowl combine coconut flakes (make sure that there are no clumps of coconut), eggs and butter and stir well.
Use two table spoons to scoop out spoon sized, ball-shaped cookies onto a greased ( may not be necessary to grease) parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Bake until the top of cookies turn golden brown ~20 minutes. This recipe makes about 50 cookies- you will need at least two baking sheets. When cookies are cooled, dip in melted chocolate and plate back onto the parchment paper. Place cookies in the fridge to allow the chocolate to solidify. Yum-this is one of my favorite cookie recipes.
